Of David.1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?2 When the wicked advance against meto devour me,it is my enemies and my foeswho will stumble and fall.3 Though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear;though war break out against me,even then I will be confident.4 One thing I ask from the Lord,this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lordand to seek him in his temple.5 For in the day of troublehe will keep me safe in his dwelling;he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tentand set me high upon a rock.6 Then my head will be exaltedabove the enemies who surround me;at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;I will sing and make music to the Lord.7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;be merciful to me and answer me.8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”Your face, Lord, I will seek.9 Do not hide your face from me,do not turn your servant away in anger;you have been my helper.Do not reject me or forsake me,God my Savior.10 Though my father and mother forsake me,the Lord will receive me.11 Teach me your way, Lord;lead me in a straight pathbecause of my oppressors.12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,for false witnesses rise up against me,spouting malicious accusations.13 I remain confident of this:I will see the goodness of the Lordin the land of the living.14 Wait for the Lord;be strong and take heartand wait for the Lord.Genesis 5:34 notes Noah was 500 years old when he begat his three sons, while Genesis 7:6 says Noah was 600 years old when the Flood came. The clear implication is God made a covenant with Noah saying Noah and his sons would be saved from judgment 20 years before Noah’s sons (Shem, Ham and Japheth) were even born! In Genesis 12, God makes a covenant with Abram telling him - he is going to be the father of a great nation - impacting the world. Abram and his wife were both old as dirt... he was 75, kind of old to be making babies. Abram Hears God's promise, doing his quasi best to trust and wait... and wait...and he waited. By the time he was 86, he and his wife Sarah tried to take matters into their own hands. Sarah gave him a servant, and with her, Abraham conceived a child. It's not until Genesis Chapter 21 & Abraham is 100 years old, he and Sarah have Isaac.Abraham had to wait 25 years after his amazing, wonder ~ Hearing God saying he would father a great nation of people. 25 years! When Moses was 80 years old, God called. By then Moses had lost the bravado of his youth. For many years he had shepherded a calm flock. God was now ready to use Moses. It is not our strength, but God's Will winning the victories. He alone is able to deliver (Exodus 3:1-12).David waited twenty-two years.All these people waited for blessings from HIM. He waited for centuries as His earthly kingdom wound down to imposters holding HIS nation's throne. No possible welcome for the baby Jesus there. And this was a difficult blessing to give.We see God saying He sees the iniquities of the parents pass to the children and He is judged for being a wrathful Deity. Instead of seeing - this was 3,000 years before we grandly invented psychology.The mention of Jesus' name created feared in the Roman Emperor in sixteen years.How many people remember who was the Emperor?How many armchair psychologists believe white is far from scarlet? He does. Waiting on the Lord has many verses, one of the most lovely Psalms on earth is the Psalm of Redemption.Psalm 130A song of ascents!1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;2 Lord, hear my voice.Let your ears be attentiveto my cry for mercy.3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,Lord, who could stand?4 But with you there is forgiveness,so that we can, with reverence, serve you.5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,and in his word I put my hope.6 I wait for the Lordmore than watchmen wait for the morning,more than watchmen wait for the morning.7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,for with the Lord is unfailing loveand with him is full redemption.8 He himself will redeem Israelfrom all their sins.Waiting involves knowing we need HIS Grace. Perhaps we have a leg up on Abraham and can be pleased knowing his example, learning we wait more with expectation - knowing without His Blessing, we would diminish ourselves. Yet, saints cannot sit around twiddling our thumbs and be pleasing to God. Waiting on the Lord implies an attitude of confident assurance, patient endurance, steadfast hope, and obedience. And a good measure of knowing without His Righteousness, we are not going to be able to do His Will. Relying on ourselves only so far as not calling Him our waiter or butler for our prayers or messes. In Faith, believing Redemption is White made from Scarlet - Possible Only in the Name of Jesus Christ Lord. Blessed be the Savior of the World. Who knows us by name. Died for me. Died for you and wrote you many, many letters called Scripture.

About Me

Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say.
The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation.
The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
